>>1352505in other words--anything the govt touches turns to absolute shit. gee, where have i seen this before? certainly not in education, healthcare, finance, food production, or environmentalism. surely not.
take the minarchy pill. kill bureaucrats, eviscerate bloat.
>>1352502correct. same thing with transit. in the 70s there were far, far, far fewer cars on the road, so driving was easy breezy, no jams, no hellish roads you will wait 10 minutes trying to make a turn out of and have to gun it through recklessly. so they thought, golly, let's have cars forever, what could go wrong?
40 years down the line population increased (who could have seen that one coming), especially in urban areas. now caging is synonymous with traffic jams, crashes, and generalized terror. that 30 minute commute is now 90+. but they changed nothing, they prepared nothing, and they refuse to understand why it's become shit. it must be those damned cyclists, that's why the interstate that was used as everyone's daily commute thoroughfare is bumper to bumper every day. yeah. all 3 cyclists in the city cause that.
boomers have an inability to admit their own mistakes, and gen x are just boomers-lite, same shit, smaller package. instead of fixing shit they want to shut their eyes and throw a tantrum. and the cost and effort of fixing this mess, like everything else, will fall on gen y/z's bank accounts and blood.
